Chapter 51
When he won the Dutch Karting Youth Championship again, the title of two consecutive championships was impossible to ignore.
She is from China, but she leaves everyone behind again and again in a foreign country. Only the wind can share her speed.
In fact, someone has already set their sights on Lin Mian.
But some people are still waiting, waiting to see Lin Mian's performance at the CES International Karting Competition next summer.
If she can perform so well on a larger track, they will be sure that this girl has the potential to become a top racing driver in the future, and only then will it be worth their investment.
At the poker table, they are spectators who sit high above the crowd and will only choose to take action when it is most advantageous to them.
However, some people wanted to take the initiative and contact Lin Mian through some channels, but Lin Mian refused.
She doesn't need these people now. The terms they gave her were very oppressive and meant a lot of traps in the contract because she was a newcomer. Moreover, after signing the contract, she would not be as free as she is now and could not do things according to her own wishes.
For Lin Mian, who cannot fully focus on racing at the moment, money is not the most troublesome thing, but constraints are.
She now has a team serving her, with Chen Xiaoqiu as the leader, and all expenses are borne by Lin Mei.
This expense is not small. Lin Mianyou has suggested putting the various bonuses he has received into the amount to reduce Lin Mei's burden.
But Lin Mei didn't agree. She just smiled and ruffled Lin Mian's curly hair and said, "You can keep the money for yourself. You are the motivation for your mother to make money. How can there be motivation without pressure, right?"
It is precisely because of Lin Mei's selfless love that Lin Mian no longer needs to read those oppressive contracts and can run freely on the field.
But Lin Mian believed that she would not let Lin Mei bear the burden for too long. She would achieve more results, and when she came to the negotiation table, she would have more chips in her hand to support her.
She wanted to be the one who brought the hammer down, not the prey that everyone was chasing.
Although the youth group does not receive as much attention as the adult group, it is the cradle for discovering future drivers after all, so there will still be reporters interviewing it.
After finishing the interview, Lin Mian rushed to the airport without stopping.
A lot of time this year was spent on airplanes, and Lin Mian has become accustomed to falling asleep as soon as she sits down on the plane. After returning to China, she has to prepare for the physics competition rematch and the next competition. Fortunately, the competition will be held next year, which can give her a break.
But I still have to give a piano recital in Germany at the end of the year, which doesn't make me feel completely relieved. After all, I still need to coordinate and prepare with the team.
But when you are so busy that you have no time to rest, you feel fulfilled.
The calluses on her hands, the soaked vest, and her growing strength all told Lin Mian that her body and spirit were becoming stronger and stronger.
Everything is going in the right direction, and she is gradually becoming a reliable and strong woman.
Looking at the notebook filled with notes, Lin Mian was stunned.
"These are the classic questions I've reviewed from the rematches over the years. Take a good look at them in your free time. But the most important thing right now is that you stay in the lab and perfect your procedures. I've already told your homeroom teacher, so just focus on doing the experiments with me during this time. I'll be watching every step of your process."
Chen Chunlai was serious for a moment, then smiled and said, "You did very well in the preliminaries."
Lin Mian's mouth corners kept rising, "Thank you, teacher. I won't let you down. I will read this notebook carefully."
Under the guidance of Chen Chunlai, Lin Mian's experimental operations became more and more skilled and perfect.
By the day of the re-examination, Chen Chunlai no longer had anything to tell Lin Mian.
He just said: "Teacher is waiting for your good news."
He was not worried that placing expectations on Lin Mian would make her feel pressured. His expectations were an affirmation of her.
Only this student can give him such expectations.
Lin Mian waved his hand: "I understand, just wait."
They didn't notice that there was someone next to them who was watching them.
Is this Lin Mian?
She looks no different from other girls.
Li Wen thought carelessly.
He had thought that a girl like this would be very different, but her upper limbs were thin but not skinny, her wrist lines were beautiful, and her lower body was slender and strong. You could tell at a glance that she was healthy and well-trained, not like a nerd who only knew how to study.
He raised his thin arms, which was a drawback of not being able to do strenuous exercise after the operation.
He regained his life but lost his health.
This frail body is indeed no match for hers.
Li Wen laughed at himself, he couldn't help but feel jealous of Lin Mian.
She stood taller than him, and she also had the health that she didn't care about before but couldn't get now.
Why did Lin Mian exist in this world? Why did someone like him appear in his world?
Li Wen clenched his fists, he would not forget his purpose.
He wants to win, even if he doesn't declare war on his opponent.
But so what? He would take the fruits of victory, then walk to her side and appreciate her painful eyes.
He wanted her to feel his pain.
But when he saw that figure again in the examination room, Li Wen turned around in disbelief to look at the examination room number, and it was indeed the same examination room as Lin Mian.
His breathing became rapid, and the image of him standing proudly in front of Lin Mian became blurred.
"Bang, bang, bang"
Is that my heart? Is it my own? Why is it beating so fast? I feel like I can't breathe.
Lin Mian was in a daze, and when his unfocused eyes met Li Wen, who was standing at the door with a pale face, even though he didn't know him, Lin Mian still stood beside him and supported Li Wen, who looked shaky.
"Classmate, are you okay? I'm going to call the teacher now..."
The unfinished words dissipated in the air. Li Wen grabbed Lin Mian's wrist tightly, so hard that it left a red mark on her wrist.
"No, I just have low blood sugar."
But the doctor said that there is nothing wrong with him now and he will not die suddenly.
He wants to make up for his past regrets and give his most perfect answer.
He didn't want to fall here.
Lin Mian remembered that He Xintong had stuffed a few homemade chocolates into her schoolbag. After helping Li Wen to her seat, she signaled to the invigilator that they needed to get the chocolates outside for the student with hypoglycemia to eat.
The invigilator saw Li Wen's pale face and became a little anxious: "Are you okay? Can you hold on? If not, call a doctor."
Li Wen shook his head, and Lin Mian tore open the wrapping paper and let Li Wen hold it in his mouth.
Gradually, the pale color faded, and Li Wen looked much better. Lin Mian patted his shoulder and said, "Next time, you can put some sugar in your pocket. Don't force yourself if you feel uncomfortable."
"Well," Li Wen paused and said, "Thank you."
"Well, classmate, do your best on the exam! Come on!"
Li Wen lowered his head and calmed himself down.
How despicable he was in front of her.
Facing strangers, and strangers with whom she was in competition, among so many people, she was the only one who stood up and ran around for him.
She was so kind, but I harbored so much ill will towards her just because my test scores were not as high as hers.
Even before the exam, Li Wen knew that he had lost.
A complete defeat.
As the exam bell rang, Li Wen's thoughts were drawn back to the exam room.
He would do well in the exam and then thank her properly.
He would still write down the answer with the determination to win. He wanted Lin Mian to obtain a victory that was not tainted by any statement, a result of his seriousness, and a failure for which he could no longer find an excuse.
What is unexpected is that not only are the preliminary questions difficult this year, but the semi-final questions are also very high-level - so difficult that it is hard to put pen to paper.
Not only are there many pitfalls, but you also need to read the questions several times before you can understand what they are saying. This is a bit abnormal, just like taking a Chinese language test.
In the examination room, the sound of the pen tip pressing against the paper was so clear, but the sound of the pen tip stopping was more frequent.
This anxious atmosphere did not affect Lin Mian at all. She gently turned the pen in her hand and formed ideas for solving the problem in her mind.
This year's physics questions made many candidates more and more panicked. They kept trying to hit the wall in front of them that was as high as a mountain, but they could not get out of the confusion. They could only waste time listening to the sound of the minute hand of the clock on the wall turning.
The atmosphere in the examination room became tense, like a tightened faucet. Because it was turned too tight, there was no room to breathe, and more candidates were affected, feeling more and more uneasy.
Even if you have done a lot of test papers in normal times, the experience when you actually enter the examination room will be different, and may even be completely incomparable.
I was already feeling a certain amount of pressure, and the stark contrast between others writing furiously and myself not having written for a long time only made the pressure snowball.
But people with strong hearts will not be affected, such as Li Wen and Lin Mian.
After writing the last stroke, Lin Mian looked up at the clock. There was still an hour and a half left before the exam ended.
After calculating again, there is still one hour left before the exam ends.
Since there are no problems, just hand in your paper and leave.
Lin Mian stood up, handed the paper to the teacher and left the examination room.
And Li Wen seemed to have telepathy. When he raised his head, he saw Lin Mian handing in the paper and leaving.
It really is Lin Mian.
Thinking of this, Li Wen couldn't hide the smile on his face when he lowered his head.
He had to speed up his pace in solving the problems so as not to fall behind her too much.
Otherwise, how could he be seen in her eyes?
He didn't want to be the only one looking at her, he also wanted his figure to appear in her eyes, in a relationship that was more familiar than a stranger.
When he saw Lin Mian coming over, Chen Chunlai breathed a sigh of relief. As expected, he was no longer surprised.
He took out the prepared orange juice from the bag and handed it to Lin Mian.
"This time I specifically asked the boss to heat up the orange juice. It might not taste as good, but it's autumn after all, so we still need to take care of ourselves."
Your body is your capital. Not only do you need to get high scores in exams, you also need to be in good health so that you can continue to get high scores.
Chen Chunlai watched Lin Mian drink the orange juice with satisfaction. He had calculated the time well, thinking that Lin Mian would come out early, so he heated it up in advance, and now the temperature was just right.
Lin Mian turned his face away so that Chen Chunlai wouldn't see the expression on his face.
She would rather drink orange juice at room temperature than heated it. After heating, the originally sweet orange juice will taste bitter.
But this was also someone else's kindness, so Lin Mian didn't waste it. He drank juice while waiting with Chen Chunlai and chatted with Chen Chunlai.
Because there was still an experimental operation test to be conducted, Chen Chunlai did not discuss the questions with Lin Mian. After Lin Mian finished drinking the juice, he stuffed a lot of candy in various flavors into Lin Mian's bag.
Chen Chunlai really treated Lin Mian as his junior. In addition to being happy that she had met a talented person, he also felt distressed about her busy life.
He expressed the unspoken words with his actions.
Lin Mian opened the wrapping paper and placed the candy wrapped in the wrapping paper into Chen Chunlai's palm.
"Teacher, please eat too. I'm not the type to eat alone."
Chen Chunlai smiled and put the candy into his mouth. It was so sweet.
He was in a good mood. Seeing that Lin Mian left the examination room at about the same time as last time, he thought that this re-examination would not be too difficult.
But he forgot that the last preliminaries were not that easy either.
Looking at the gloomy expressions on the faces of the students who had passed the re-examination, Chen Chunlai swallowed what he wanted to say.
He glanced at Lin Mian who was standing in the outermost circle, and saw that she was still talking to people from other schools. He could only turn back to cheer up the students. There were still experimental operation tests to be done next, and they couldn't fail here, as the outcome was uncertain.
"Thank you so much just now. If you hadn't given me the chocolate, I might have failed before the rematch again this time. You don't know... how much I appreciate you."
Li Wen kept rubbing his hands in his trouser pockets. Because he was taller than Lin Mian, his eyes could not meet hers. He did not dare to meet her eyes, for fear of revealing that he was not at peace at all.
"Again?"
Lin Mian found the key point. When she was out, helping others to the best of her ability was what Lin Mian always did, especially since she had seen so many things, and she would help as much as she could within her ability. She did not feel that Li Wen's thanks were justified.
Li Wen nodded and said a little embarrassedly, "I fell ill before the semi-finals last year, so I couldn't participate. This year, I finally made it to the semi-finals smoothly. I almost thought I couldn't participate again. Thank you so much, Lin Mian."
The darkness that appeared before his eyes at that moment not only invaded everything in front of him, but also invaded his fragile heart.
It felt like my brain was broken and I thought of some terrible things.
But when that pair of warm hands held his, not only did the warmth return to his body, it seemed as if his soul was also captured by this person, and his eyes suddenly became clear.
It turns out that the hotter the light illuminating Lin Mian, the bigger the shadow cast on his back.
But the brighter the light that illuminates her, the faster it will dispel the shadow on his back.
She is the one and only sun.
Even in the dark night filled with secrets, jealousy, and hatred, he would feel warmed by the appearance of the sun.
Lin Mian's eyes widened. She remembered that she had never told the person in front of her that her name was Lin Mian.
"Do you know my name?"
"Of course you're famous. It would be strange if you didn't know that."
At this time, the classmates behind him told Lin Mian to go back quickly and take the bus back for dinner.
Lin Mian winked at Li Wen and said, "See you next time."
"My name is Li Wen, Lin Mian!"
Thinking that he had not told Lin Mian his name yet, he hurriedly shouted before Lin Mian got on the car.
This was the first time he did such a thing in public, and a blush spread across his face.
"I understand. Li Wen, you should go eat soon."
Lin Mian sat by the window and waved to Li Wen. Li Wen raised his hand and waved goodbye. The blush that had originally appeared on his face rushed up along his ears.
This is how it felt when she pronounced his name.
My heart seemed to be filled with gently blowing clouds, making my whole body float along with it.
When taking the test on experimental operation the next day, Lin Mian did very smoothly. Standing in front of the lab table, her eyes were as calm as water, as if nothing could stir up any ripples in her eyes.
To do any experiment, one needs to be calm and focused, and Lin Mian's current state is the most suitable.
Each of her movements was so precise, without a single shake in her wrist, that one wondered if she had undergone special training.
The smooth and flowing operation made the judges nod their heads secretly. If they couldn't find any points to deduct, they would just give the most appropriate score.
Seeing Lin Mian's high spirits, Chen Chunlai breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that she would not do too badly on this operation question. She was a person who was very strict with herself.
If you can satisfy someone who is very strict with himself, the result will definitely be good, right?
Chen Chunlai prayed silently. He really wanted to train a student who could enter the national competition. He had trained students who won provincial first place, but he had never trained a student who won a national award.
Lin Mian is his greatest hope, she must enter the national competition.
But the result still surprised and delighted Chen Chunlai.
This time, Lin Mian not only won first place in the semi-finals, but also got the only full score!
The 200 points are hanging high at the top, forming a sharp contrast with the 160 points below. This is the first time I have seen such a big score difference in these years.
Seeing this result, Li Wen was not as indignant as before, and he did not feel jealous at all.
But ripples appeared on the calm lake surface, and flickering beneath the layers of phosphorescence was the light formed by the gathering of tiny sounds.
Lin Mian.
The sound of breaking through the ground was the answer in his heart.
He sincerely wished her well.
Isn't it good to be second? He is the name closest to her, the person closest to her that everyone can see.
He wanted to hear her call his name again.
This is the gift that fate has given him.
Even with such a body, he received compensation from the gods.
